Christopher Noble studied Classics and Ancient Philosophy at Princeton University.

His work deals primarily with the development and transformation of Platonic and Aristotelian thought in Late Antiquity. He is particularly interested in the way in which later authors can inform our understanding of problems in Plato and Aristotle, and in the distinctive contributions of Later Platonism to the ancient philosophical tradition.
